#1: Few updates to the car Author: webbo_23, Location: NottinghamPosted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 1:24 pm ---- Hi all
Made a few new modifications to the car in the last couple of weeks. First of all i got a colour coded boot strip and debadged the rear:
Before:
After:
Then i removed the black vinyl from the door pillars:
Bit of colour coding on the interior - want to do the vents and door handles etc next:
Sprayed the front badge in Ford Graphite Grey, which is the colour im going to spray my GTI alloys:
I then came across a tint film from SPI Vision, which is very similar to fly eye, so thought i would give it a go on the front lights and fogs. What do you think?
Before:
After:
Future plans are to change the horrible lower grill on the front, bit more colour coding inside, and get the GTI alloys sprayed up.
Comments and thoughts welcome

#5: Re: Few updates to the car Author: webbo_23, Location: NottinghamPosted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 2:10 pm ---- I have my 17 inch GTI alloys in the garage, just need some new rubber and spraying. Also have a spare set of black plastic bumper moulds that i want to attempt to colour code and change, but not sure how they come off yet lol.
Also need to purchase a new lower grill for the front, as i hate the silver one on it! Just not confident in taking the bumper off to change it lol

Have a look at the how to guide on it. From memory its 1 bolt either side of the bumper under the headlight and 3 at the front and 2 under neath.. and dont forget to remove the arch liners too!

Thanks. Now the headlights are tinted though, i dont think you can tell if they are frosted or crystal unless you have a real close look.
